What are the early signs of arthritis in a cat?

Paranormal Princess asked:


I can feel my cat Smudge's hip bones through her short fur, but she seems to not be stiff or anything like that. However, my cat's hip bones are becoming more and more prominently felt whenever I pet her and Smudge is a 14 year old shorthaired cat who's going to be 15 in June of this year. She doesn't seem to be in any pain when she's petted, but I'm concerned that her hip bones becoming more and more easily prominently felt may be a sign of arthritis. Is this reason enough for my concern for my cat? Smudge's eating okay and also doesn't seem to be losing any weight lately, but she's 8 pounds, which is the proper weight for a cat her size, according to the vet.

What is the best remedy for arthritis pain in the knee? Does it really normally come and go?

Hershey P asked:


I can't determine which of what I'm doing makes the pain go away for days after it attacks for few days. I do therapy but it recurred. I put warm bag/warm compress on my lower back now and I use some natural therapy cream made of ginger, virgin coconut oil and peppermint which seems to have stopped the pain so far. I don't know if it's just the nature of arthritis that it stops then recurs at any given time and I don't know anymore whether what i'm doing now is the one that makes the pain stop.
